Bharatiya Janata Party member of Parliament from Northwest Delhi Udit Raj termed the #MeToo movement a “wrong practice” in India. Raj raised the question of relevance of making allegations of sexual harassment against anybody after 10 years.

Raj said, “#MeToo movement is important but what is the relevance of making allegations of sexual harassment against anybody 10 years later? How will the truth in these allegations be established after so long?”

Tweeting in Hindi, Raj wrote, “The person on whom the allegations will be levelled, how much it will tarnish his image is worth giving a thought. A wrong practice is being initiated.”

Raj further said, “How is it possible that a girl who is in a live-in relationship can level rape allegations against her partner and he is booked and sent to jail. Such incidents are happening so frequently these days. Isn't it being used for blackmailing?”

Since the movement has started in the country after actor Tanushree Dutta alleged that Nana Patekar had sexually harassed her 10 years before, many women came out in public with such experiences of harassment.
